The Bus DLC Hamburg City – Update 4

[h3]With the new version of the Hamburg City DLC for The Bus, new highly realistic bus repaints have been added.[/h3][p][/p][p][/p][p]These feature current promotional designs from Hamburger Hochbahn, specifically highlighting the use of electric buses. The corresponding liveries are applied to the buses included in the DLC, creating an even more authentic cityscape.[/p][p][/p][p] [/p][p]The new version will be released ahead of the new Line 277, which will launch as a free update for all owners of the Hamburg map.[/p][p]E-Buses in Hamburg’s Public Transport – Background[/p][p]Hamburger Hochbahn has been consistently expanding its emission-free bus fleet for several years. The first series-production electric buses entered regular service in 2019, and since 2020 only zero-emission buses have been newly procured. The goal is to gradually convert Hamburg’s bus services entirely to alternative propulsion systems.[/p][p][/p][p] [/p][p]To make this endeavor more visible and raise public awareness, selected vehicles are decorated with eye-catching promotional designs. These pick up on themes unique to Hamburg and play deliberately with language and familiar local motifs.[/p][p]Among the slogans used are: “Ehrbus für Hamburg”, “Unsere E-Philharmonie”, and “Hamburgs neues Chancenviertel”. Some images can be seen in this news update.[/p][p]These distinctive designs have since become a familiar part of Hamburg’s streetscape and underline the city’s shift toward a more climate-friendly public transport system.[/p][p]Authentic Implementation In-Game[/p][p]These real-world vehicle designs have now been recreated in the The Bus DLC – Hamburg City. The aim is to represent the current developments within Hamburg’s bus network as quickly and accurately as possible in the game.[/p][p][/p][p] [/p][p]The new version also includes several minor improvements and adjustments that enhance gameplay and visual quality. For example, transparency on the roof structures at the Central Station and Barmbek Station has been optimized, and several curbs at roundabouts have been lowered slightly, allowing AI buses – especially articulated buses – to follow the route more reliably.[/p][p]Work on the new Line 277 is currently ongoing. More details on this route update will follow shortly.[/p][p][/p][p]Don’t Miss Any Updates[/p][p]To stay informed about future updates, new routes, and additional content, we recommend subscribing to our Facebook page or joining our Telegram channel.[/p]
